A way to recycle campaign mail

Overwhelmed by all the campaign material filling up your mailbox (the old-fashioned one, not your e-mail box)?

If you're looking for a way to get rid of it, Eileen McGrath is ready to help.

McGrath is the assistant curator of the North Carolina Collection at UNC-Chapel Hill. The collection, as she puts it "attempts to document the heritage of the state - and that includes our politics."

But she said in a recent letter to fellow librarians (quoted here with her permission) that the collection is "very Triangle-centric."

"To overcome that I'm contacting you, asking you to save those postcards, letters, flyers, etc. and mail them to me."

McGrath is interested in any mailers having to do with state or local elections, as well as anything related to the presidential race sent to North Carolina voters.

So, stuff it all in an envelope and send it to Eileen McGrath, Assistant Curator, North Carolina Collection, Campus Box 3930, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Chapel Hill, NC, 27514-8890.
